i , ' I • 11 OREIGIV 11V I'ELLIti IVCE. DEc. 14.—The:English declaim with - iolcUCe again s t fne system of prohibition w3dch shufS the Continent against their merchandise; and particularly- against the order for burning the , produce of their manutactures ; an order which was -executed at the same time.at every point.. Any well informed man in England cannot, however; consider as:without precedent a measure to whiCh the.Enalish Legislature has had so trerjhently re course ; would t hey t: ea forget that a great ,number of the statutes of t Enilland•commatid the burning of goods, the produce of 'foreign industry, and .above all that oi•France ? We would seek in vain among other nations a sys.ein of prohibition, which has placed more shackle, than that of England upon the introduction of industry trom the Continent. • Ail the English writers agree in saying, with Gee, one of• their authors, that there Hs no Cali meree which it is proper to repress with - more -care than , that'ot France, which produces' all tne'rieces— sares of life, and wants evenvery few of those which convenience or luxury demand', with the exception of some materials for her manufactures, such as drus for dyeing. It is io this sentiment thet is owing this system of prohibition by which the English have nearly ar rived at excluding 'from their w ukets oar manufac tures; a system which was modified - a 'little by the. treaty in 17 36, but in consideration of advantages and concessions out-of all proportion whiCh we ruaL!e to England. It would be too 'long to ci'e all the statutes which, since the 3d year of the reign of E lwardi V. down to the present time, h:we established violent measures against 'French products and industry, par ticularly with regard to cloths,. wooden. , caps, lace; ribbons, fringe. of silk or thread, gold and silver lace, linen, cambric, &c: These statutes do not confine thems'hres to intlicr pecuniary pen Ities, and o.dtring the confiscation of the metchatidise : they attach the crime of felony - and -transportation fur sc,ven years against then), A statute of the tgih of Geo. 11. (chap. 24.) i 4 still more rigorous. It cleclai es felony every act. --of • prohibited importation; whether open or clandestine; it obliges a Person , accused of fraud to appear, under pain of death; at the titne'specifi&d in the proClana lion.. We shall' see that it is a ,measure - of rigour for thichthe.English have f 7 urnishectexainples in mat ters'of-taxatiOn and prohibitions, - • , • • , - Since 1463, the system adopted by Great Britain against the commerce of France has been' followed by ail the Piarces who - have reigned in England and pi ogressiv,:ly 'augmented At'ts 61 . Partiament crt-e the ab4olute exclu,lou Trench' . goods, such as'that 'in •1677; On account of the annual loss which resulted tbEngland-through her commerce Vviih Fiaucl.- , It -England haA• sometimes ' relaxed from *these prokbitorydispositions, s - e then loaded the French mann tacttile4, the iniroduCtion of which IA ere law ful, with such excessive dories, as . neariy to iinount to an ab,olute prohibition. - • According to Stniih, the lowest,duty to:which the grea , er part of the manufiOures or .produels of France 'DLitt be valisa.Yat is 751. per cent. whilst the goods of other rw,jous •:vele subjeded iclighter duties, which rarely exceeded 52 per cent. It was-to nourish that epposition to French in dus'ry, that in 1749 was established in -London tnr Ant-iGallican &solety, which proposed to prevent•in . Engird the sale of French - goods. It was honoura ble t() our national cliaratter that it had no imitators in 'France, -- In truth, the spirit which formed this inctitui ion in England has not remained withont-al terai!on. The Government has hail recount , to vi,its, and'custom-housetacers throughout the tutee kingdoms are authorised to enter boosts to search 16r 'probibit,d . gooifs-, from the top to the bottom ; they can evensop passengers in,the Streets and upon the reAs, when they are knoWn as car riers of suspeaed goodi. - What can be add. d to these statutes; to'this ever -I:l;sting war of the English customs against •FRinch• industry ? Nothing, but giving orders to burn such of our merchandizeas the:) , - seize, after having sur thou:ited so many obstacles. This measure has been prescri bt-ct by a great number of rules; among, which Ave will cite:7— 1.. Tht statute of the 1 5 th. of George 11, ..w hid) orders the confiscation and burning of bold and silver wire, gilt :copper - and silver; goldedsilver fringe, coming from the Continent. 2. The statute of the Zed year of the same reign (chap. A. tied ,2.) renews the dispositions of.the fornier statiate, and orders the confiscation and burn- log of embroidered studs, stufTh wish gold or silver flowers, or any other manutadture containing gold tit Over, either in wiTes or in plates, coating from the Continent. The statute of the 3d year of George 111. modifies that of the tgth year of Henry VII. which prohibits the importation of ribbons, hinges, lace, silk, vel- vet, and other manufactures fabricated with silk, and coming trom the Continent, under pain of confiseas tion, and a tine equal to the value of the meichan. dine; and the said articles shall be publicly burnt and entirely destroyed. , That .of the 24th Of the same reign, which orders, the burning of tobacco, Bcc. - _How is it possrble after .such examples, drawn from their ownlegislatiun, that the English should be surprised to ::te the COniinent" at , ,leilgib adopt thin prohibioory system to which they awe their own iches, and France employ, to exclude English titer- Chandize trdm her markets, the means of which the English have so frequently made 'u'se—the-ab solute prohibnion of the produce of their manufac-' tures, -and the burning of those which bad been fiaedulently introduced.

SIFTINGS AT ',IS! iitIUIS;ErI"QaE LORI) ELLENBOROUGII DE GRAVF.S V. SMITH. This was an action brought to recover 2421. 2s. fticgoOds sbrec, -- and 'delivered to a Mr. Wharicri: •Rve, in consequence of the good charaCter given' ,of by the r'e.tendant. The plaintiff having . been induced to tru,t Mr. Rye, from the good re yiesernatiOn of 'him by Mr. Smith, and thar_repre- 'sentation of him having turned out to be -lake, Rye' having' since become a 'bankrupt, the plainrin now sought to recover the amount 'of the gods which he had delivered to Rye from the de fendant. I‘lt TOPPING stated the case at some length.-- Rani , his .statement it appeared, that the defend :ant, Mr. Suit It, was a linen-draper, ho liVed in • 'Oxford-street that itr 1806, Rye, Qnd Mbffat were . shOprnen to some line,n-draper tesident the same' stteet, who failed : and that abet "sUch failure, Mr: Smith was ;leased to sc tip those: two shopmen in business as linen-drapt'r's, ,in the house next to .his . oi.viiresidence.' Whether Mr. Shlit.h had any share in the concern carried on under the name Of G: Rye and Co. he could not tell ; but. the partnership between Mo - ffat and' Rie' was dissOß'ed in' 1808. After that evcot, Rye commenced busin'es on his ,own ac, - o(wi ; and he haVing dealt with the plain ; tiff before the dissolutifm, he a ain went' td him, .and gave a small order to the :tun:)uni of atJdut 11.— :The" - warehousetnan who managed Mr. 'pi, Gra% eS's concern did not Objkt 'to executing thiii'order . : bet when Mr. Rye gave a further order for goods to the amount of 431. bethought it prudent to . con 'suit his employer, Mr. De Graves, 'preViouSly to executing Mr, be Graves agreed with, his ware- • honsetudii, Mr. S'trA), that Mr. Rye r ought to giC=6 a reference., to some ie:;p_ec.iahle h oust as' s - to his* trust-worthi n ess. Mr. Rye, on being c:ille:Lon for a reference, referred Mr. Swan to Mr. Smith. Mr. 'Swan accordingly waited upon. Mr. Smith, and his answer was so'sat4aa - ory that. MT. Rye's order was ionediately executed, , Mr. SiritthgaVe - Rye 'a most' excellent character, observing; that he had:1(.1.4 Rye 1,5001. on his own security ; that so highly titd he think of him that ne'din not even deem it necessary to - take the lease of the house or any rhinos a s'e curtly li ; e 114 'afterwaid§ goods to a consider able amount, and the good charaoer 1 4 i 'en of =him' by defendant alone indiaceSplaintiff to trust him. In October 181,9 Rye became a bankrupt and there' being something' extraordinary in the dealing be t,.vden Rye and Smith, the laiter was examined •be fore the Gnorniss:oners Of' BankrplAs. - At that ex minatioh it' appeared that the busivess carried on by Rye an Moffat nad . been a loing concern to the amuuot of 1,1751. and that on tae dissolution. of the I tarwership, andoit Rye's" continuing the business, • Mr.' Stuith toOk Mt. Rye's warrant of attorney for 7,7001. for the 'profits 'and good-vill of the shop, and by which he could come upon the premises at 'any time for that amount., " • Mr. Smith also' had - the le:.le of the . hbuSe c - the house:as a further security,- So that it appeared that ittteikl of - Mr. Smith's hay.;. ink nothing by way of security, he had <t warrant of attorney ,and, the lease of, the house. From the same examination it appeared, that Rye hul re . dueed that debt or sum of 7,7001 to less that 30001. in - the course of the year in which he Was. in bust . 'less, and which Mr. R. .said he:could Only . fia - e dOne by pa'yitig such money ak arose. frbm the sale, of goods he might have Obtained on credit to 'Mr: . Smith. _These faBs which'he had stated,would be proved;' the gland of the proceeding would appear from the circumstance of Rye having paid Smith nearly 5,0001. iii the cehrse of twelvemonths; and then not being able to pay' his creditors, he became . a 'bankrupt; Joseph Samuel Swan, the warehouseman-to Mr. De Graves, was then called. He proved the vari-. etas ..Circinnstances, and related they conversation that took place between hula and Mt. Smith. Pre- viously to executing the order for go o d s . to the arnonnt of '431. he waited upon Mr. Smith ; Mr. Smith said, that he once had more than 70001. in .4yei conceit); but that he was then withdrawing' it, though" he intended to_ leave in the hands . of Rye. -He had no security for the then in Rye's concern ; no lease or any thing of the kind; and from that circumstance witness might judge whetjier he (Smith) deemed Rye 'trost-worthy. , After this character, the goods Were : sent to Rye ::-s were .other goOds afterwards, _agreeably to Mr. Rye's, orders. 'This communication too:: place about the Litter - end of 1808,_ but no other com - mu- nicatiOn on 'that sUbjea afterwards took place. The goods to the amount of 431 it appeared, by the account, :had been paid for, tbsugh there was now, a balance to .tke amount sued for in this Lord ELL ENBOROUGH asked Mr. Topping whe ther he was conrenclibg that Smith , was liable for all the goods that had lieen.sold, subsequieni to the sale, of goods to the amount of 431. because on being ap plied- to, previously to the de4ery. -unit pared, he bad given, a false character of Mr. Rye ? There was no other communication between Mr. Smith and Mr.' De Waves, respelling Mr. Rye's trust worthiness, but the one related by,Mr. Swan; and did, he contend that Mr. Smith was liable -for all the goods soktzto Rye, after the giving of the false character Mr. TOPPING replied in the affirmative; • be cause,• he submitted, the chars ter was not a limited one, but a general One. Lord ELIENBOROCGEI said, that he had before held to the (Ibntraiy in the Court, and- lie still re,' tained that opinion, which had before guided other deCisiOns of,a . similar nature. = The character given by Smith must be conneeled with 'the particular' time when he , give and he having given a false charater, he became liable for the ptircel.of goods afterwards delivered to tlie,,amOuptof 431. but 16r, 'no no other communication having taken,' place. . . • . .
